The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! #MovieReview

Film 87 in the “1001 Films to See Before You Die” is 1988’s “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” After watching this film, I wouldn’t mind watching the sequels as I rather enjoyed this. Even if the majority of jokes went right over my Sunday night head. I didn’t know what to expect going into this. All I knew was before watching this was that Frank is a cop who messes thing up and hilarity ensues. That certainly was the case. From the amount of times Frank crashed his car into something to the very weird scene of him and Jane having sex in adult sized condom suits. Talk about safe sex. I didn’t what to think when Nordberg, played by O.J. Simpson, got shot several times at the start of the movie. Considering what happened in O.J.’s life six years after this film was released, it was a little hard to watch. The one thing I would have to question is this, why would Queen Elizabeth II want to visit a baseball game while on tour? It doesn’t feel right. If we look at the male side of The Royal Family to start with, Prince Harry supports Arsenal and has been in The Army (could be wrong on that one), Prince William supports Aston Villa while Prince Andrew is a Norwich City supporter. The women of The Royal Family Queen Elizabeth II likes riding horses and loves corgis, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is a patron of The National Literacy Trust and other literacy charities. And Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, became prominent for her fashion style and has been placed on numerous “best dressed” lists. Very different lifestyles. Back to the film, I recommend watching it and the sequels. If you have seen this film or any other films from “The Naked Gun” then let me know what you thought of them in the comments.
